"The characteristics of the fortunate children of God."

BapDada is seeing the lines of fortune on the foreheads of all the children. There are lines of fortune on the forehead of each one of you children, but the lines of some children are clear, whereas the lines of others have not been clear, from the time that you belonged to God, the Father. God means the Bestower of Fortune, God means the Bestower. This is why, when you become the children, you all definitely attain the right to claim your fortune, that is, your inheritance. However, you become numberwise in using the inheritance you have received in your life …using it for service and making it elevated and clear. This is because the more you use your fortune for yourself and for service, the more it increases, that is, the clearer the line becomes. The Father is the same One and He gives the same to everyone. The Father doesn’t distribute fortune numberwise, but those who create their fortune, that is, those who are to become fortunate, become numberwise because they attain such great fortune only according to their capacity. This is why the lines of some are clear and the lines of others are not clear. Children who have a clear line experience themselves to be fortunate in every act they carry out. As well as this, others also experience their fortune from their faces and their activity. Others who see such fortunate children think and say: These souls are very fortunate – their fortune is always elevated. Ask yourself: Do I experience myself to be a child of Bhagwan (God, the Fortune-maker), that is, bhagyavan (fortunate) in everything I do? Fortune is your inheritance. It is not possible that you do not receive your inheritance. Do you experience your fortune as your inheritance? Or, do you have to work hard? An inheritance is received easily; it doesn’t require hard work. In the world too, a child automatically has a right to his father’s treasures and his inheritance, and he has that intoxication that he has received his father’s inheritance. Do you have the intoxication of such fortune, or does it rise and then fall again? You have the imperishable inheritance and so you should have so much intoxication! Not just one birth, but you have the fortune of many births as your birthright. You speak of this with such a great sparkle. Let others always be able to see the sparkle of your visible fortune. Do you have both the sparkle and the spiritual intoxication? Is it merged or has it emerged ? The sign of a fortunate soul is: that fortunate soul is constantly being sustained in a lap, he walks on a carpet, he swings in swings and doesn’t step into mud. The feet of such a soul never become dirty. Those people walk on carpets whereas you, instead of keeping the feet of your intellects on the earth, keep them in the world of angels. You don’t keep the feet of your intellects in this old world of dust, that is, you don’t allow your intellects to become dirty. Fortunate ones don’t play with toys of clay; they always play with jewels. Fortunate souls remain constantly full. This is why they always have the stage of being completely ignorant of all desires. A fortunate soul becomes a constantly great donor and a charitable soul and continues to create the fortune of others. A fortunate soul always has his crown, throne and tilak. A fortunate soul is a renunciate to the extent that he has a right to the fortune. Renunciation is a sign of fortune. Renunciation makes your fortune very clear. A fortunate soul is always equal to God: incorporeal, egoless and viceless. Such a soul is constantly filled with all three of these qualifications. Do you experience all these signs in yourselves? You are on the list of those who are fortunate, are you not? However, are you only according to your capacity or are you full of all powers? You are masters , are you not? In praise of the Father, you never say that He is according to capacity or that He is numberwise; you say that He is always full of all powers. If you are master almighty authorities, ones with all powers, then, why do you become according to capacity? You are constantly those with all powers. Change the words “according to capacity” and become those who are always full of all powers and make others too the same. Do you understand?

Which zones have come? All of you have reached the land of blessings and are filling your aprons with blessings, are you not? Every activity and act in the land of blessings is filled with a special blessing. When you come into this land of the sacrificial fire, then, whether you cut vegetables, whether you clean the grain, these too are filled with blessings of service of the yagya. For instance, when people go on a pilgrimage, they consider cleaning the temple to be an act of great charity. At this great pilgrimage place, or on this land of blessings, every deed and step is filled with nothing but blessings. How much of your aprons have you filled? Will you go back having filled your aprons completely, or only according to your capacity? From wherever all of you have come, you have come to celebrate the mela. In Madhuban, let neither one thought nor one second go to waste. This practice of becoming powerful here will help you at your own places. The study and the family: take benefit from this study and also have a special experience of the family. Do you understand?

BapDada is giving congratulations to those of all the zones for becoming the bestowers of blessings and great donors. The people’s festival has now ended, whereas you constantly have a festival filled with enthusiasm. You constantly have a great day. This is why you have congratulations and nothing but congratulations every day. Maharashtra is such that you become great and always fill your aprons with blessings to make others great. Those from Karnataka always remain cheerful. Also make others cheerful with your cheerful faces. Continue to fill your aprons. What will those from U.P. do? You will always give the blessing of coolness like cool rivers, become the goddesses of coolness and make others into goddesses of coolness. With that coolness, always continue to remove all types of sorrow from everyone. Fill their aprons with such blessings. Achcha.

To those who constantly have clear lines of elevated fortune, to those who are constantly full of all powers, like the Father, to those who remain stable in the perfect stage, to those who constantly have a Godly sparkle and who maintain the spiritual intoxication of their fortune, to those who become fortunate through their every act and enable others to claim their inheritance of fortune, to such elevated fortunate, master God children, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste. Achcha.

BapDada meeting groups :

1. Kumars: Kumars means free from bondage. The biggest bondage of all is that of waste thoughts in the mind. Become free from this bondage too. This bondage doesn’t sometimes bind you, does it? Because the power of thought is the basis of income at every step. On what basis do you do the pilgrimage of remembrance? You reach Baba on the basis of the power of your thoughts, do you not? You become bodiless. So, the power of the mind is special. Waste thoughts make the power of the mind weak. Therefore, remain free from this bondage. A kumar means one who is constantly an intense effort-maker, because those who are free from bondage would automatically have a fast speed. Those who have a burden would move along at a slow speed. Those who are light would always move fast. Now, according to the time, the time for effort has gone by. You now have to become an intense effort-maker and reach your destination.

Have you Kumars finished your old accounts of waste? The new account is the account of the powerful. The old account is of waste. So, the old account has finished. In any case, in relationships, you never keep old accounts. You finish the old accounts and continue to move forward and increase new accounts. So, here, too, you finish old accounts and you constantly have the newest of all, the powerful, at every step. Let every thought of yours be powerful. As is the Father, so are the children. The Father is Powerful and so children also follow the Father and become powerful.

2. The mothers: In which one virtue are the mothers especially experienced? What is that special virtue? (Renunciation, tolerance.) Are there any other virtues? The form of the mothers is especially that of being merciful. Mothers are merciful. Do you unlimited mothers feel mercy for the unlimited souls? What do you do when you feel mercy? Those who are merciful cannot stay without serving others. When you become merciful many souls are automatically benefited. This is why mothers are also called benefactors. Benefactor means those one who benefits others. Just as the Father is the World Benefactor, so too, you mothers have also been given the special title of being benefactors, equal to the Father. Do you have such enthusiasm? What have you become from what you were? With the transformation of yourself, you also feel zeal and enthusiasm for others. Do you have a balance between limited and unlimited service? Your accounts are settled with that service and the other is limited service. You are unlimited servers. The more zeal and enthusiasm you have for service, the more success there will be.

Mothers have become instruments to benefit the world through their renunciation and tapasya. Mothers have the speciality of renunciation and tapasya. Do you remain busy being instruments for service with these two specialities and in making others belong to the Father? The duty of the confluence-aged Brahmins is to do service. Brahmins cannot stop doing service. Just as those brahmins in name also definitely have gatherings where they read stories, so, here, too, to tell stories means to do service. So, become a world mother and think about the world. Think about the unlimited children. Don’t just sit at home; become the unlimited servers and constantly continue to move forward. You spent 63 births in the limited; now move forward in unlimited service. Achcha.
